Words & Music by Dorothy Fields & Jerome Kern, 1936
Recorded by The Lettermen, 1961 (#13)


C    Am7   Dm7     Dm+7      G7
Some-day, when I'm awfully low,

 C       C/B       Am7    Am7/G
When the world is cold

Dm7           G7          C          C7
I will feel a glow just thinking of you 

F6               G7     C     Am7   Dm7   G7  
And the way you look tonight.


Cdim(IV) C    Am7  Dm         Dm7     G7
You're   love-ly, with your smile so warm

  C        C/B      Am     Am7
And your cheek so soft;

  Dm      Dm+7   Dm7    Gsus4   C    C7  
There is nothing for me but to love you

  F6              G7      C  Fdim   C
Just the way you look tonight.


Bridge:

 CM7      Gdim       Fm7        Bb9 
With each word your tenderness grows,

 CM7        Am7   F7    G
Tearing my fear apart;

CM7       A7          Fm7         Bb9
And that laugh that wrinkles your nose

    C      Bm7-5    E7      G7   
Touches my foolish heart.


Gdim(IV) C   Am7   Dm     Dm7   G7
You're  love-ly...never, never change,

 C         C/B        Am7    Am7/G
Keep that breathless charm;

  Dm       Dm+7     Dm7       G7      C    C7
Won't you please arrange it 'cause I love you

  F6              G7      C       Am7    F6    G7
Just the way you look tonight,


Coda:

 F6               G7      C     Fdim     C
Just the way you look tonight.
